Issue 2: JIT-87075
While uninstalling iDRAC Service Module, a popup is displayed if the Firefox browser is opened. The popup prompts that
Firefox browser needs to be closed before continuing the uninstallation. Close the Firefox browser and click the Retry option to
continue the uninstallation.
Limitations on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
● Do not specify user profile folders like a desktop folder (C:\Users\administrator\Desktop) as custom installation paths for
installing iDRAC Service Module. This is because services running on the system account cannot access such folders.
● You cannot view Lifecycle Controller logs in the new folder in the Event Viewer (169898) if you have recently changed
the folder name of the Lifecycle Controller logs in the Event Viewer. Microsoft recommends that you reboot the operating
system to be able to view the Lifecycle Controller logs under the new view name.
● On Windows operating system, a feature that is enabled using the installer and disabled using any interface other than the
installer, can only be enabled using the same interface or the installer in GUI mode.
User Notes for Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
To perform an Express Install on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems:
Execute dcism-setup.sh -x from the SYSMGMT/iSM/linux directory.
For more information on the installation instructions, including silent installation, see the "iDRAC Service Module User's Guide".
NOTE:
You do not have the permission to run the script directly on the disk partition. Use the format sh ISM_LX.sh to
run the script and then install iDRAC Service Module.
Known Issues on Linux Operating Systems
Issue 1
Description: If DSET 3.4 or later is running, and iDRAC Service Module is shut down or uninstalled; a Watchdog Timer Expiry
event is observed.
Issue 2
Description: After performing an iDRAC Hard Reset operation on certain Linux operating systems, the IPMI driver (ipmi_si) may
become unresponsive because of an existing issue in the IPMI driver. If the IPMI driver becomes unresponsive, reload the IPMI
driver (ipmi_si).
The issue is seen on Linux kernel version prior to 3.15. An update is available in the following operating systems with Linux kernal
version 3.15 or later.
To reload the IPMI driver:
● modprobe -r ipmi_si — If the removal fails, then all applications (such as iDRAC Service Module and OpenManage
Server Administrator) using the ipmi_si need to be stopped and retry the operation.
● modprobe ipmi_si — Alternatively, the administrator can also restart the Host OS to resolve the issue.
